Section 6.0 This section addresses the following condition:

–Condition e): A green procurement plan for sourcing the proposed materials

Information included:

–Revised green procurement plan

16th June 2017

Green Procurement Plan

Merchants Hall, 46 Essex Road

Contents:

1. Introduction 2. Designer Processes 3. Material Selection 4. Contractor Commitments 5. Additional Documentation

1.0 Introduction

This Green procurement plan has been prepared by Faithdean in conjunction with Ben Adams Architects, to outline the green procurement processes that will be implemented for the project.

1.1 Planning requirement

Condition 3 of Planning Permission P2016/0878/573 requires that a Green Procurement Plan should be provided and shall demonstrate how the procurement of materials for the development will promote sustainability, including through the use of low impact, sustainably sourced, reused and recycled materials and the reuse of demolition waste.

The following aims to demonstrate how the design and construction of the project, aims to satisfy the above condition.

1.2 The Site

The site is located off a busy road (Essex Road) in Islington, London and is bounded by the following roads: Packington Street and Queens Head Street.

1.2 The Scheme

Proposals include: - A new entrance reception at 46 Essex Road - Set back plant enclosure at 46 Essex Road - Refurbish 2 existing flats at 160 Packington Street - Extend residential accommodation into the existing roof space to create a duplex. - Create two new SME units at ground and basement floors of 160 Packington Street - New windows at 162 Packington Street - Set back roof top extension at 162 Packington Street - New 4 storey building on Queen’s Head Street with link to 162 Packington Street

The commercial element of the Project is to achieve a BREEAM 2008 rating of “Excellent”.

2.0 Designer Processes

The development proposals have been considered in relationship to regional and local policy.

2.1 Relevant Policy

The following greater GLA policy has been reviewed and addressed in development of the Green Procurement Plan:  The London Plan  Sustainable design and construction guidance (SPG)  The GLA group responsible procurement policy

The following local policy has been reviewed and addressed in development of the Green Procurement Plan:  Islington Core Strategy  Islington Green Procurement Rules

2.2 Islington Green Procurement Rules

Islington Council defines green materials as materials that are made in a way that:  Uses fewer natural resources  Contains fewer hazardous or toxic materials  Has a long life span.  Consumes less energy or water in production or use.  Can be reused or recycled on disposal.  Generates less waste, for example; made from recycled materials, uses less packaging or can be recycled by the supplier.

2.3 Relevant BREEAM Credits

The project is looking to achieve a BREEAM 2008 accreditation of Excellent. Specific targets that are relevant to Green procurement and that we will undertake to satisfy are as follows:

 Man 01 - Commissioning: A BREEAM assessor has been appointed throughout the design cycle of the project.  Man 03 - Construction site impacts: Transport of construction materials and waste to and from site will be monitored. All timber used on the project will be sourced in accordance with the Governments Timber Procurement Policy. This will be monitored in accordance with the BREEAM evidence requirements.  Ene 1 - Reductions of CO2 omissions: There will be a significant improvement of energy efficiency of the Building, therefore less emissions will be omitted as a result.  Mat 01 - Materials Life Cycle Impacts (Major building elements) & Mat 02 - Hard Landscaping: As part of the design of the scheme, the project aims to use construction materials with a low environmental impact over the full life cycle of the building. Green guide calculator inputs are

made for all specified materials, which include an environmental profile, certification of suppliers and product declarations.  Mat 03 - Reuse of building Facade. The building façade is being reused which accounts to 50% of the total façade by area.  Mat 04 – Reuse of building Structure. The existing ground floor slab and the Essex road building are being retained to minimize waste.  Mat 05 - Responsible sourcing For key building elements, materials have been procured from suppliers who can demonstrate that their materials have been responsibly sourced through certification schemes such as BES:6001 and FSC. The historic façade is also being  Mat 06 - Insulation: All new thermal insulation has a low embodied environmental impact relative to its thermal properties, and has been responsibly sourced as per guidance given for Mat 01.  Wst 01 - Construction Waste Management: Site waste monitoring and reduction will be carried out in accordance with BREEAM guidance.  Wst 02 - Recycled aggregates: Certification and documentation detailing quantity and source is required.

2.4 Procurement Plan Aims

Section 2.4 shows the materials selected at specification stage, will be considered utilising the BREEAM assessment methodology. A credit summary developed by the BREEAM assessor identifies that these credits are targeted and are important to be attained to ensure the required BREEAM rating is secured.

The project utilises as much of the existing fabric and finishes where possible given. The new elements are built to a Green Guide rating of 'A' or higher, demonstrating the selection of materials considers the energy life cycle of the element, cradle to grave.

Sourcing materials such as timber, concrete, glass, metals, plastics, composite boards and so on from manufacturers and suppliers which have an environmental management system (EMS) in place, like as ISO 14001 or BES 6001, means the scheme is considering the environmental impact of the materials used. These credits cannot be ignored in BREEAM assessment and therefore will be followed.

The procurement of materials by the contractor will be targeting suppliers which have EMS in place. Local suppliers will also be targeted where possible to minimise transportation energy use,

air pollution and emissions associated, this will also support local businesses within the borough.

3.0 Material Selection

Material selection follows the process outlined in section 2.0 with the key aims to:

 Reduce the quantity of natural resources used through efficient design and considered material selection  Reduce impact through selection of sustainable materials defined in terms not only of initial material impact (embodied energy, transport etc.) but also other benefits in performance, durability and knock-on impacts to other elements (e.g. weight, compatibility, )

The following section outlines the selection process carried out for main materials proposed for the works as listed below. ‘Main’ is defined as those materials comprising the highest proportion of new interventions in terms of material volume, expressed below as a percentage of the total volume of new materials.

 Primary structure: steel and cross laminated timber (CLT) (29%)  Basement structure: reinforced concrete (28%)  External cladding: bricks and reconstituted stone  Windows: Composite timber and aluminium windows, timber conservation windows, metal crittal windows  Roofing: Natural slate  Internal Linings: Plasterboard with insulation  Finishes: Low VOC paints  Timber generally

3.1 Primary Structure

Primary structure forms a large proportion of new material meaning the selection is key to the overall impact of the scheme.

Numerous options were evaluated against a wide range of criteria in order to shortlist 4 preferred approaches. In order to suit large spaces of the existing building it became clear that a steel frame 5

was most appropriate to deal with the required long spans. The detailed selection process therefore focussed on the infill floor slabs which were evaluated further as summarised below.

Key selection criteria:

 BRE Green Guide rating – this incorporates a wide range of factors from embodied energy  Weight – lighter floor slabs means a reduced load on the steel frame and concrete foundations thereby reducing the volume of these materials  Thickness – thinner structure means greater ceiling height and better quality office space  Construction time – shorter construction period reduces disruption to surrounding residents, reduces duration of crane and associated road closures, reduces site costs  Cost  Finishes – self finished structural slabs omits requirement for additional linings thereby reducing material usage

A comparison of the chosen hybrid steel and CLT structure with other shortlisted options is shown below:

Floor slab CLT Timber joists Pre-cast Metal deck with concrete slab concrete infill BRE rating A+ A+ B B Weight 1 kN/m2 0.5 kN/m2 2.8 kN/m2 2.8 kN/m2 Thickness 200mm 375mm 180mm 295mm Construction Quickest Neutral Neutral Slowest time Self finished? Y N Y N Cost £325/m2 £160/m2 £270/m2 £305/m2

As illustrated by the above, timber joists were discounted on account of a much greater thickness which would reduce ceiling heights unacceptably. From the remaining options CLT was a clear choice, despite the increased cost.

In order to deliver the chosen system, the full team were involved in an extensive subcontractor selection process (see also section 4.5) including commercial tenders, interviews and visits to completed projects. B&K Structures were selected on the following basis:

 Combined steel and CLT package allowed for better detailed coordination, reducing wastage and significantly reducing site installation time  ISO 14001 accredited

3.2 Basement Structure

The new basement is the only area where the primary structure described in section 3.1 was not suitable. Reinforced concrete was selected with the following measures taken:

 Developed design to reduce thickness to minimum required  Waterproof concrete considered but not implemented due to limited benefit in relation to cost

3.3 External Cladding

External cladding material selection was primarily influenced by planning requirements given the existing buildings locally listed status and location within a conservation area. The exterior comprises a high proportion of retained existing structure with two key new materials: brick and reconstituted stone.

Brick cladding with light steel frame inner leaf was selected for the Queens Head Street elevation, bricks supplied by Strojer Tegl offering the following benefits:

 A+ BRE rating  1:1 mock-ups of actual brick pier to confirm brickwork details ahead of order and minimise waste  Bricks made to order including specials minimising site waste  Lightweight metal frame inner leaf reduces foundation loads in comparison to blockwork  Bricks aesthetically similar to other conservation area buildings  ISO 14001 & 14025 accredited

Reconstituted stone panels supplied by Sterling Services were selected for the ground floor shop fronts with the following benefits:

 B BRE rating  Reconstituted stone uses waste stone material as aggregate  Engineered material allowing to be thinner than natural materials reducing amount

3.4 Windows

Three types of windows are proposed throughout the development:

 Metal crittal windows to Essex Road building  Timber sash windows to Main Hall  Timber / aluminium composite windows to new roof extension and Queens Head Street building

Conservation requirements were the driving consideration for the first two types limiting opportunity for consideration of wider material choices. Nevertheless products and suppliers were carefully selected and chosen for the benefits described below:

Timber sash windows: George Barnsdale traditional timber sash

 A+ BRE rating (All timber to comply with relevant criteria to achieve BREEAM Excellent rating)  Full ‘historic’ specification considered but discounted due to lower thermal performance (U- value 2.0 W/m2K vs. 1.4 W/m2K for chosen range) and reduced durability of paint finish as factory application not feasible  ISO 14001 accredited

Metal crittal windows:

 B BRE rating  Double glazed system improving thermal performance in comparison to existing

 ISO 14001 accredited

For glazing to new extensions, composite Timber / Aluminium windows were selected in preference to full aluminium or steel framed windows.

 B BRE rating  Powder coated aluminium external caps offer greater durability than painted timber  Timber structural mullions offer significant benefits over aluminium or steel alternative  Double glazed system improving thermal performance in comparison to existing  ISO 14001 accredited

3.5 Roofing

Conservation area criteria informed the selected of dark grey roof slates for new pitched roofs. Two options were shortlisted and considered: fibre cement slates and natural slates.

Fibre cement slates were initially selected on the basis of BRE A+ rating, in comparison to A for natural slate, reduced wastage and improved workability. However, following further consultation with the conservation officer, natural slate was deemed preferable for aesthetic reasons.

UK (Welsh) slate was considered offering potential benefits in terms of minimising transport however significant cost uplift in comparison to other non-UK suppliers meant this was not feasible. The chosen supplier, SIGA, offers the following benefits:

 European (increased transport in relation to UK, but still less than alternatives from Asia)  ISO 14001 accredited

3.6 Internal Linings

Plasterboard:

There are a number of plasterboard manufacturers that have had their products tested for VOC’s and formaldehyde. The results indicate that both VOC and formaldehyde content do not exceed the requirements of European voluntary labelling schemes regarding indoor air quality.

These have the following benefits:

• Makes the air up to 70% cleaner • Will produce cleaner, fresher air • Uniquely captures and converts VOCs • Poses no risk of re-emission even if the product is damaged. • Could contribute towards 2 BREEAM points under indoor air quality, as part of a management plan and handover test plan. • Works through a paint finish. • Is recyclable through closed loop Plasterboard Recycling Scheme (PRS) • Is certified to BES 6001 (responsible sourcing of construction products with ‘Very Good’ rating) • Has no detrimental impact on the performance of the product regarding fire, acoustics, durability and installation.

Metsec:

The manufacture of steel allows for 20% re-used materials to be added. 100% of the steel sections can be recycled at the end of use or life.

3.7 Finishes

Proposals include paint finishes to plasterboard, masonry and timber. As required by BREEAM credit HEA 9 all finishes are low VOC. This includes fire retardant coatings required to exposed timber soffits.

3.8 Timber generally

Faithdean have committed to the following processes regarding timber:  All timber used throughout the project is required to be FSC or PEFC certified.  Timber sourced in accordance with the Governments Timber Procurement Policy  Using FSC certified timber for hoardings

4.0 Contractor Commitments

The below information verifies compliance with Green Procurement Plan.

4.1 Company Policies and Procedures

Faithdean are the principal contractor for the project. Faithdean operates an Environmental Management System which complies with the requirements of ISO 14001:2004 for the Construction and design & build services incorporating new build, refurbishment and fit out projects.

In addition there are a number of internal procedures the project will follow in order to control and monitor its environmental impacts. These include production and implementation of Environmental Management Handbook and overview Statement & Site Waste Management Plan. (As our “Environmental Management Handbook” Appendix 1 and “Example Site Waste Management Plan” provided at Appendix 2).

4.2 Site set up / Logistics

As a part of our Sustainability Strategy we have a focus on reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprint. We believe in reducing our carbon impact by managing our direct emissions. We have a detailed Environmental Policy which can be found on our website, www.faithdean.co.uk and Appendix 1.

We work on projects to reduce carbon emissions by:

 Installing temporary lighting circuits that can be switched off when not in use  Implementing a green travel guide to encourage the use of public transport.  Maintaining a strict delivery schedule to minimize vehicle movements and pollution  Nominating an office energy champion to ensure switch off procedures are adhered to.  Using low energy photosensitive hoarding lighting  Using FSC certified timber for hoardings

4.3 CO2 from Energy

On a monthly basis we monitor, report and set targets for CO2 arising from energy consumption on site.We install meters at the beginning of the project to provide accurate monthly readings to calculate consumption.

Energy consumption is reduced through: switching off computers and all electronic equipment when not in use; site temporary lighting on two circuits so only emergency lights are left on at night; using low energy, light sensitive hoarding and compound lights.

4.4 CO2 from Transport to and from Site

On our sites every vehicle reports its inward and outward mileage on arrival. This is recorded in a spreadsheet and C02 is calculated based on the size/type of vehicle and mileage. This is reported in a monthly graph which details C02 from all vehicles to site.

Although there are no appropriate industry targets set for C02 from transport to and from site at present, the raw data is analyzed to identify long distances travelled and discussions are held with the subcontractor to find local solutions or to improve on delivery methods.

Previous work has resulted in suppliers delivering once to site for two different subcontractors and local suppliers being given preference, for example.

A strict delivery procedure ensures that vehicles are not waiting in local streets. Engines are switched off on arrival.

4.5 Selection of Sub-Contractors

Faithdean uses Environmental Standards to assess our supply chain. Before placing an order, Faithdean assesses suppliers and sub-contractors on their environmental performance through the tendering process.

This assessment requires trade contractors to answer all pre-qualification questions relating to environment, sustainability and CSR as well as health and safety, quality and financial information. The returned documentation is checked in detail by the appropriate sustainability, technical, health and safety, human resources or financial personnel.

The requirement to achieve the Mat 5 credit for “Responsible Resourcing” is included in subcontractors’ scope of work and contract documents. BREEAM workshops are held with subcontractors early on in the project to ensure they understand the requirements. Regular progress meetings are held and a tracker is kept by the site manager to ensure credit requirements are being met.
